The Life of Giorgia

What time does school start, and what time do you go home?:

For me, school starts at 8:00 AM and ends around 2:00 PM! There are some schools in Italy that have shorter days, but then kids are required to go to school on Saturdays too!

How do you get to school? Are you allowed to go to school by yourself?:

My father drives me to school and picks me up every day! There are school buses and some kids walk or take public transportation, but I live on the other side of town so it is too far away for any of those options.

Where do you eat lunch? What is your favorite food?:

My favorite food for lunch is a prosciutto and cheese panini (sandwich). For a snack, I like whatever fruit is in season; right now it is clementines!

What language do you speak at school? How do you say "Hello" in your language?:

At school, we speak Italian, but we also learn English from a very young age. All of our classes are taught in Italian, but we have one English class every day. Some kids, like myself, go to an English program after school that is run by British volunteers!

What are some common kids' names at your school?:

Some common Italian names are Chiara, Valentina, Maria, Alessandro, Francesco, Thomas and Marco! The name Chiara is very popular right now because of the famous Italian model Chiara Ferragni who is married to the singer Fedez!

What subjects do you study in school, and which one is your favorite?:

In school, we study math, science, history, English and art. My favorite is math!
